Critic Reviews:
- " Yes, in the end, underneath the laughs, Young Rock is very much a love letter to Johnson's late father. For once, despite lacking the presence of his old screen-partner Kevin, this is a series with an awful lot of heart. " – James Croot (Stuff.co.nz)
- " He represents his Pacific culture with integrity and pride and Young Rock is full of lovingly drawn characters that celebrate his Hawaiian heritage. " – Alex Behan (Stuff.co.nz)
- " Despite being a glamorized version of Johnson's life, there is a lot to gain and feel connected to. Also, a highly-stylized and show-offy approach is very much his style so there really isn't any other way to tell his story. " – Dorian Parks (Geeks of Color)
